<h2>Using Kepler with Xavante in Windows</h2>

<p>Xavante is one of the easiests ways to use Kepler on Windows. If you choose
to install Xavante during the installation of Kepler, there should be an icon
for it on your desktop and an entry in your Start Menu/Programs.</p>

<p>Both the desktop icon and the menu option allows you to start Xavante by
simply clicking on them. Once started, Xavante should display a small green
icon on your Tray Bar. From this icon you can start and stop Xavante, check its
log messages and exit completely Xavante.</p>

<p>The default configuration for Xavante uses the
<code>&lt;<em>Kepler Home</em>&gt;/web</code> directory for Lua Pages and Lua Scripts and uses port
8080 on <em>localhost</em>. If you want to change this configuration, just edit
the <code>&lt;<em>Kepler Home</em>&gt;/conf/xavante/config.lua</code>
file.</p>

<p>To check if everything is OK, just open the URL
<em>http://localhost:8080</em> in your browser (or the corresponding URL if you've
changed the <code>config.lua</code> file). Xavante should show the Kepler welcome page
and offer a link to its documentation and self tests.</p>

<p>As an alternative, you can also start Xavante using the Lua command line
interpreter. The example below is a batch file that can be used
to start Xavante in Windows in the <code>c:\kepler\1.1</code> directory.</p>

<pre class="example">
@echo Xavante Started
@c:\kepler\1.1\bin\lua5.1.exe c:\kepler\1.1\bin\xavante_start
</pre>
